Camp North End Walks

I am trying to prepare the kids for our hiking trips this summer by doing more walking.  There is usually a lot of complaining unless I disguise the walk as something else.  We have been doing a lot of walking to North End recently with the disguise of getting food or an ice cream treat.  I love Camp North End so it is a win win!
     
Alex had curling last Thursday night after Harper's soccer practice so the kids and I walked to North End for dinner.

Spring Break 2023

The kids had a wonderful spring break!  Alex took them to the Carolina Raptor Center to see birds of prey, to Urban Air to climb around and to putt-putt for mini golf.  They went out to eat a few times and Ethan got his hair cut!

Little Man enjoys his hair cuts!
     
This place is right down the street from my Cornelius office so the kids met me for putt-putt over lunch.
      
    
    
    
    
      
I took the kids hiking this weekend at the Anne Close Springs Greenway.  They did a great job!
    
We saw two large snakes.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
     
Can you spot the snake?
    
    
After our hike, we went to a playground in Pineville.

Bunny Week

We had a busy week last week!  Alex's family was in town visiting and I had a busy work schedule, so I do not have many pictures from their visit.
    
My partners threw Progga a wedding shower last Sunday night.  I didn't get a single picture of the six of us together!
    
   
   
   
It was very rainy last Friday and Saturday, just in time for the kids to be off from school.  We went to Dave and Busters.
   
   
     
On Saturday, we took the kids bowling.  Katherine and VP met us there.  
   
   
   
   
   
    
Harper wrote a note to the Easter bunny and the kids left carrots.
    
Hoppy Easter!
   
    
   
They searched everywhere for their baskets.
    
     
   
Ethan's was in the oven!
    
   
Harper's was hanging amongst the coats. 
     
   
   
   
    
Our neighborhood had an egg hunt Easter afternoon.
   
  
  
   
   
   
I had Monday off from work, so we explored the Charlotte Shout event in Uptown. 
   
   
   
   
   
We had lunch at Le Belle Helene.
